## Reviews

### "Security focused, simple note taking" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *24 April 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Standard Notes sets itself apart through its approach to privacy and its clean design. Every note is automatically encrypted end-to-end which is refreshing in this day and age. 

The UX is uncluttered and simple to use. It was easy to organize notes via tags, and the search function worked well. Syncing notes across my laptop, phone, and tablet was seamless and it even works in offline mode. The fact that sync was free made it even more appealing as this is typically a paid feature.
> 
> **Cons**: The free version is only text-based which works for basic notes but not if you need to add rich formatting, images, or spreadsheets. These features are available via a paid subscription.

Due to the encryption, there is a lack of collaboration tools. If you need to work across a team, this will be a blocker. 

On Linux I encountered occasional bugs with undo and glitchy formatting. The UX felt inconsistent between desktop and mobile. The UI can feel a bit outdated compared to other competitors.
> 
> Overall I had a positive experience with Standard Notes due to the strong focus on security. Support has been exceptionally responsive and the app is routinely updated. The free version includes quite a bit of functionality and the paid versions add valuable features. 

In summary, Standard Notes isn’t the flashiest or most feature-rich note-taking app out there, but it excels at what it sets out to do: provide a secure, distraction-free space for your thoughts. If you’re someone who values privacy and simplicity, and doesn’t mind paying for advanced features, Standard Notes is a trustworthy companion for all your note-taking needs.

> **Vaibhav** | *10 August 2022* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Decent app for taking notes, export data is very easy. Notes are safe saved and can be saved on google drive.
> 
> **Cons**: App has some bugs, it crashes during use.

### "Digital Notebook" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *30 September 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Password protected note is very helpful feature for me. Spell check is also works well.
> 
> **Cons**: I tried with web app. And web app UI is very poor. They needs to work on UI.
> 
> Currently, I am not using this app. I tried with free trial. But I added this app in my watch list. If they improve and introduce new feature as well as design. Definitely I will go with it.

### "Free and crosses easily" — 3.0/5

> **Les** | *13 December 2023* | Chemicals | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Can work without wifi on my iPhone and/or PC, or with to retain the notes and documents.
> 
> **Cons**: The free version is very limited.  Not competitive enough with iPhone notes formatting functionality, and the step-up is cheap but nowhere near MS OneNote.
> 
> Limited with the standard free basic version, and more able to flick the data between iPhone to PC, arguably with better encryption, not that my notes have any secrets worth that much effort.

### "No end notes" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *16 October 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: That you can type, and type, and type, and never forget your notes, you always have in mind what you doing, it's like a diary but in everywhere.
> 
> **Cons**: The price, I know that pro features are incredible, but 50€ a year is like wow, I cant afford that, because I don't use the app for my business, at least not in the way where ur finances will improve.

And that themes are not free, i want my app in so many colours for free.
> 
> Such a lovely experience, it's always available and you dont need to take all that time to take a note like in another apps.
